Thanos is kind of a joke, isn’t he?

“Marvel’s been building up to the Mad Titan’s big, knockdown assault on the universe in Avengers: Infinity War for almost 10 years. But in all that time, across 18 movies, we’ve spent only a handful of minutes with the new movie’s villain.

For those who have no background with Thanos beyond how he’s been portrayed so far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s hard to take him seriously. He’s CG Josh Brolin, rendered in deep purple hues that almost make him resemble a walking, talking raisin.

Fans of Marvel Comics, on the other hand, know Thanos well. He’s been a sinister presence for decades, and his pursuit of…”

Our first look at the live-action Titans TV series is here, and it looks like dark times are ahead for our heroes.

Based on the DC comics, the show stars Brenton Thwaites as Dick Grayson, Anna Diop as Starfire, Teagan Croft as Raven, and Ryan Potter as Beast Boy.

Titans will be the first show to premiere exclusively on DC Universe, the new streaming service that’ll bring together all your favorite DC comics(!), films, and shows.

But it won’t be the last. Titans will be followed by other DC Universe series including Doom Patrol and Swamp Thing. Because you didn’t have enough superhero shows to keep up with already.

If anyone was worried that the upcoming Aquaman movie wouldn’t have a bunch of scary fish in it, worry no longer.

The very first Aquaman poster was revealed Monday and really puts the “aqua” in Aquaman, featuring Jason Momoa as Aquaman with his signature trident surrounded by a whole bunch of scary, deadly fish (and a few mammals and reptiles too).

Home is calling. #Aquaman – in theaters December 21. Watch the new trailer this Saturday. pic.twitter.com/ZTvO6qTxap

The poster, of course, features an underwater scene and appears to give us a glimpse at the kingdom of Atlantis, which Aquaman is the rightful king of. Aside from that, this first poster doesn’t really give us any clues we didn’t already know or expect about the movie.

What is he doing with all those fish? How does his hair stay like that underwater? Why is there a bright light above Aquaman’s head? Hopefully we find out soon.

The tweet that accompanied the poster teases a trailer, which will be dropping to the public on Saturday after it airs exclusively at Comic-Con this week.

Before the poster was revealed, Aquaman director James Wan gave fans a little teaser of the upcoming trailer, showing a frame with what appears to be Aquaman commanding a whale.
